' UNITED STATES PATENT- SLEEVE.

T all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HERMAN KAMINKO- wrrz, a citizen of Russia, and resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sleeves, of which the following is a specification.

Thisinvention relates to wearing apparel and has in view more particularly the production of a new form of shirt sleeve, in which the cuff is reversible, and in its two positions, presents two lengths of the shirt sleeve, as will be seen from the specification and claims and the drawing in which- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a portion of a shirt sleeve with the cuff in one position in full lines, and in the extended position in dotted lines, Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the cuff extended, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view, partly in section showin the union of the shirt sleeve and cuff.

In shirt sleeves, it is desirable to have the cuff arranged for extension at certain times, and at other times, such as while working, to have the cuff foldable to present a shorter sleeve.

In the drawings, there is shown a shirt sleeve 10, which has the fabric forming said sleeve folded as at 11, and the fold 11 is secured to the major portion of the sleeve as at 12. The lower end of the sleeve is secured as at 13 to the pieces of fabric 14 and 15, which form one of the plies of a cufi. The margins of these pieces of fabric are secured as at 16 to another ply of fabric 17 to form the cuff. By this union of the cuff and shirt sleeve, it is apparent that the end is foldable at the line of junction, and as the extension to one side of this line of junction is of less width than that on the opposite side, it is Specification of Letters Patent.

clearly seen that when the cuff is. folded in one position, such as the wider side extended, the shirt sleeve will be longer, and the cuff will assume a position farther down the arm toward the hand, and when the extended portion is turned backward, the shirt sleeve is shorter so that the arm has more freedom in movement.

The wider extension of the cuff is provided with button holes 18 for the reception of a cufi link or other fastening means, and when this side of the cuff is extended, the link or other fastening means passes through the button holes 18 only, but when this section of the cufl is folded over the shirt sleeve, the fastening means passes through the button holes 18, and also through button holes 19 formed in the sleeve as shown.

Modifications of details may be made without changing the scope of the invention.

What I claim as new is:

In a sleeve, a cuff secured to the lower edge thereof, and extensions of unequal widths, being formed by the union of said cufl and sleeve, which extensions are extensi. ble below said sleeve at will and provided with button holes which match other button holes in the sleeve when the cuff is turned backward, the button hole in the sleeve being equidistant with the button holes in the end, from the line of junction of the sleeve with the cuff.

Signed at New York in the county of New York and State of N. Y. this 14th day of June A. D. 1913.
